Musbury is a small village in East Devon lying between the towns of Axminster and Seaton with much of the surrounding unspoilt countryside in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (aonb), and the centre of the village is a designated Conservation Area. There are plenty of spectacular walks in the surrounding landscape of wooded combes, vast areas of heathland, fertile river valleys and breathtaking cliffs or hilltops. The area is rich in wildlife with local nature reserves providing sanctuaries for birdlife including ospreys around the Axe estuary. From Musbury Castle, a hill fort above the village, there are spectacular views of the Axe Valley. Musbury is three miles from picturesque Seaton Bay with its mile long shingle beach on the Jurassic Coastline, a natural World Heritage Site. The attractive fishing port of Beer is also close-by as is the historic town of Axminster, with medieval minster church by the beautiful river Axe, weekly market, a museum containing antique Axminster carpets and ‘River Cottage’ produce shop and café.

    . fortunately the cleaners were still at another property there in the afternoon to ask.  The guest information book is well out of date claiming that things are in the back of a folder that are actually in a draw underneath a gas boiler did not help when trying to work out how to use the hob etc., and the actual switch for hob hidden behind microwave! your description overall telling me that it was a gas cooker was entirely false as it was all electric therefore money wasted on buying unnecessary matches as I only have electric at home. Claiming it's dog friendly when there are no fences to contain your animals there is also wrong.

    A lovely base very close to Axminster, Lyme Regis and Seaton. The owners left a welcome package which was much appreciated with milk in the fridge, tea bags and coffee. The dog loved the space and freedom. The cottage is not enclosed so bare in mind that if your dog is not trained as there are a couple of cottages in the row with access to all of them. Also there is WiFi however, I would not rely on it as it was very slow and would disconnect. Also due to the location mobile data is pretty poor. Just a thought if someone needed to work remote from the cottage. But this did not spoil the holiday it was lovely and tranquil listening to the birds and animals in the evenings on the farm next door. Thank you for a lovely stay Honeysuckle cottage, we will be returning.
